Candy Crush Saga earned about $6.1 million in the same time period.

Both games are free to play, and both offer in-app purchases as a way to generate revenue. However, Clash of Clans uses the Apple Game Center for sharing, while Candy Crush uses Facebook. King.com leverages Facebook Connect, making Candy Crush Saga a cross-platform game. Clash of Clans, on the other hand, must develop a different sharing system for different platforms, as Game Center is only available on iOS.
